HE => can refresh cache (goto AE cache) RZ10 RZ11 RZ20 CCMS RZ21 RZ70 Self Registration PFCG Mass generation of profiles SMQR qRFC monitor SMGW Gateway Information SWF_XI_CUSTOMIZING SWELS turn on tracing for BPE Trace 1) Is the SLD a component of XI? No, XI is a client to SLD SLD (use to be called Landscape Component Repository (LCR) 2) How many SLD does SAP recommend? 1 (Previously) Depends on Client Business landscape 3) How is it that the list of products in SLD is entered? There are two ways to get new products listed in SLD WHAT ARE THEY? 1) Manually 2) Import the content file 4) When Creating a Technical System (TS) are you able to deselect a software component? YES 5) What is the reason/relevance for LINKING the TS to SWCV? The SWCV under Product and its version from the Software catalog are the basis for design time object development in IR and further used in ID. Therefore when the TS are linked to a specific SWCV and its product, the link is carried on to the business systems that are assigned to the ID configuration scenarios. 6) In BS we cannot deselect SWCV!

7) What software is installed to run IB? Java Web start 1.4.2 WHY????? o Java Web start is a caching application for large java clients. Normally java clients are relatively small and downloaded from server, but IR and ID are each approx 20 to 30 MB in size therefore these applications must be stored locally in Cache instead of being downloaded each time. 8) Whats so special about SAP_BASIS software component? => As the basis admin, have to import it into the IR and it has the Adapter metadata. 9) What are the 3 possible nodes below Software Component version in IR? 1) Imported objects (clicking on import radio button and save) 2) add in Namespace and save (can have many namespaces) 3) Basis object 10) What is the recommended naming convention for Namespace name? 1) URN (uniform resource name) 2) URI (Uniform resource identifier) 3) URL (Uniform resource locator) 11) Why have an ID and IR opposed to just having an ID? SAP provides a pre-delivered XI CONTENT, but this does not take into account the Customer specific requirements such as names and etc. 12) You can see multiple message types when creating a Message Interface by selecting Synchronous 13) What are category options for Message Interfaces? 1) Inbound (in perspective of BS) 2) Outbound (in perspective of BS) 3) Abstract 14) What type of objects can you use in Message Mapping? 1) Message Type (MT) 2) External Definition 3) RFC 4) IDocs 15) What are the available mapping program types for interface mapping? 1) Message Mapping 2) Java 3) XSL 4) ABAP-Klasse (use se80)

5) ABAP-xsl (use se80) 16) What is a configuration scenario? This is a folder where you can create LINKS to objects. 17) Whats in Receiver Determination (RD)? RD = Sender (Service, Interface, Namespace) + Receiver(s)/conditions + Interface Determination + Receiver Agreement 18) If mapping does not exist in RD then double click at bottom where the object is, this will then take you to ID (interface determination) and now can do change mode from there. 19) What are a Sender Agreement and Receiver Agreement? What is another name for the above? For both - Agreement to use specific communication channel Another name? Collaboration Agreement 20) What is the difference between central and local IE? What are all the types of pipeline? SAP_CENTRAL SAP_CENTRAL_BACK SAP_RECEIVER (local IE) SAP_RECEIVER_BACK (local IE) back is for acknowledgement SAP_SENDER (local IE) SAP_SENDER_BACK (local IE) Acknowledgement Pipeline steps in order! 1) Receiver identification 2) Interface Determination 3) Message Branch /Split 4) Message Mapping - Request 4) Technical Routing 5) Call Adapter 6) Message Mapping - Response 21) If I have an outbound routing error what can be error? The comm. channel or receiver agreement 21) What 2 adapters are not parts of adapter engine because they are on the ABAP stack? 1) IDOC 2) HTTP 22) SLD CIM (common interface model)

New Questions: 1.) List all adapters supported by J2EE Adapter Engine: File, SOAP, JMS, RFC, JDBC, MAIL, CIDX, RNIF, BC Adapter, Marketplace Adapter hosted by Integration Engine: HTTP Plain and IDOC J2SE Adapters: File, SOAP, JMS and JDBC 2.)
